As a postscript (tm) to my previously posted article on ZTerm
downloads failing, let me add that using the windowing option
(sz -w 1024 filename _or_ sz -w 2048 filename) does increase
the chances for a successful download on a large file.  This was
suggested to me by Dave Platt, and I had forgotten to include it
in my tests.

Another postscript (tm): The vt100 emulation is only half a step
above Microphone 1.1 (which has, as you all know, horrible vt100
emulation).  Just in editing this article in vi, the emulator
made a spectacular show of adding text in the middle of a line.

Yet another postscript (tm): ZTerm 0.7 seems to lose the "Date
Created" and "Date Last Modified" of each MacBinary transfer it
does.  If, however, I transfer the file as BinHex'd text and then
UnBinHex it with Stuffit after the transfer, the real information
comes out; therefore, it is there and ZTerm is throwing it away.

(Note: Microphone 1.1 does this as well.)
